The Toronto Blue Jays could make a unique trade.
Toronto pulled off a blockbuster deal for Los Angeles Angels ace Jose Soriano for their second-ranked prospect Arjun Nimmala and two other prospects who aren’t in the top-30. It was a hefty price to pay, but Toronto wanted Soriano to pair with Dylan Cease to be the one-two punch for the next two years at least.
However, MLB insider Joel Sherman reported on X that the Blue Jays have received trade calls on Soriano, despite them acquiring him on Monday.
“Teams were calling the Angels on Jose Soriano and I have heard that has not stopped as now some are calling the Blue Jays. The trade deadline might get weirder,” Sherman wrote on X.
It would be odd for the Blue Jays to immediately flip Soriano after paying a hefty price. Yet, if a team does offer something insane, perhaps Toronto would entertain it, and some teams believe they could still land Soriano despite him already being traded once today.
Soriano has two more years of team control. The right-hander is 9-6 with a 3.29 ERA in 22 starts this season with the Angels.
More to come.
